Global Warming Project Extra Credit!

Here is how you can earn up to +10 Extra Credit points on your Global Warming project which, as you recall, counts as one test grade in the 4^th Quarter:

Collect original clippings (no copies, no duplicates) from a newspaper or magazine (any print medium—not internet, not internet source printed out) on any of the Global Warming topics covered by the project.  It counts even if the article is on a topic different from the one you are researching.  Each clipping counts as one point extra credit.

Super bonus!  Each article which refutes the concept of Global Warming (serious articles only) get +2 points each. 

As examples of “clippings”, see the ones on the back bulletin board in the classroom.

How to submit the clippings:  staple them to your 500-1000 individual write up which is submitted on first day of class after Spring Break.

2007 Second Semester Physics Project:  GLOBAL WARMING

What:  Physics students will be arrange themselves into to a group of 2-4 persons.  Each group will investigate a topic related to Global Warming.  The group topics are as follows:

            Group I            Alternative Source of Energy:  Wind & Water

            Group II            Alternative Source of Energy:  Solar

            Group III            Alternative Source of Energy:  Nuclear

            Group IV        “Future Car” – alternative automotive technologies

            Group V            Methods of Carbon Capture

            Group VI        Status of the Kyoto Accords—proposed political remedies

How:  During HSPA week, Ms. D will show 2 DVD’s:  the Al Gore slide show, “An Inconvenient Truth” and “Future Car,” a PBS show on alternative automotive technologies under development 2 years ago.

Individual Component:

Each person will write a 500 – 1000 word paper which includes graphics and photos.  The paper will address:

q       How your assigned topic addresses this problem.

Group Component:

Group Verbal Report can be presented in one or more of the following formats:

Power Point Presentation

Poster

Video

Verbal Reports should be about 5 minutes long

When:

Feb 28:  Submit the list of names and choice of Group

April 16: (the day we return from Spring Break):  Individual Reports handed in and Group Components submitted.

April 16 to June 1: Verbal Reports given in class

Why:

You are the FUTURE            !  Any efforts to free us from the effects of Global Warming must be carried out by your generation.  But first you must be aware of the options.  Knowledge is Power!
